  • Process Over Outcome: Todd Martin on Leadership, Legacy & Serving Youth

    We're bringing back one of our most powerful conversations—with my good friend and former world #4 tennis pro, Todd Martin. Originally aired during a season of deep reflection on elite performance, legacy leadership, and impact that lasts, this episode is more relevant than ever.

    At just 23, Todd founded the Todd Martin Youth Leadership (TMYL) Foundation in Lansing, MI.

    Today, their reach is undeniable, serving over 2,300 kids each year with game-changing results:

    ✅ 27% of students advanced more than two grade levels in reading (2024)

    ✅ 55% exceeded grade-level growth in both reading and math

    But we didn't just talk numbers—we talked mission, mindset, and what it truly means to lead by serving others. If you believe in process over outcome, leadership over ego, and impact over applause—this replay is a must.

    🔁 Re-listen. Share. Support.

    The mission is still alive—and the next chapter is just beginning.
